  "account": "UOB strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann highlight a range-bound upside bias for the Singapore Dollar against the US Dollar. Overnight, the USD/SGD pair slipped as Asian currencies remained resilient, with the SGD NEER remaining well above its mid-point. In the short-term, the pair is expected to stay within a tight intraday range, while over the next 1-3 weeks, a mild Dollar weakness is favored towards key support levels unless the resistance is broken.\n\nYesterday, UOB anticipated the USD to \"consolidate between 1.2785 and 1.2815\", but it fell to a low of 1.2766 before recovering to close 0.21% lower at 1.2777. Although the USD has not gained much momentum, it is unlikely to weaken substantially further. Today, the USD may trade within a range of 1.2765 and 1.2795.\n\nLooking ahead to the next three weeks, UOB's view turned slightly negative on the USD on Monday, indicating a tentative buildup in downward momentum. While any decline may not break the support at 1.2765, a breach of the 'strong resistance' level at 1.2805 would suggest that the downward momentum buildup has diminished.",
  "summary": "UOB strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that USD/SGD slipped overnight as Asian currencies stayed resilient and the SGD NEER held well above its mid-point. Their short-term view sees the pair confined to a tight intraday range, while the 1–3 week outlook still favours mild Dollar weakness toward key support levels unless resistance is broken.",
